Sinus Infections
One of my friends just called me wanting to know what she can do for her sinus infection. You see she's pregnant and doesn't feel good about taking any OTC meds (smart lady :)). Lucky for her, she knows that you can use essential oils to fight infections while you are pregnant! They are perfectly safe for use during and after pregnancy. The only "warning" I would give is that some women have a decrease in milk production when they use peppermint oil while they are nursing. Here are some essential oils that work great for sinus infections: On Guard - Put a couple of drops in a small amount of water and gargle. Helps with sore throat and to fight infection. You can also add it to your water and drink during the day (it's pretty strong, so beware!). Breathe, Eucalyptus and Lemon, Oregano - Probably not all at once. :-) Try them and use what works for you. Put on your sinuses (and reflex points), under nose and chest. I love Breathe! It usually does the job ...
